Inquisition of Purity
Author's Note: I have returned from holidays and am back in writing! This is a different story along most of those stories which you have read (I think). It is at the end of the seventh year, where Voldemort has been defeated, and everyone is happy and free. However, Fudge sets a new law, so such pureblood mania is destroyed forever. The majority of the magical population are half bloods, so they happily accept this. Except only a few, Severus Snape among them, who fight for their rights. This is the story...
(Characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Story is dedicated to Gavrilo Princip, the young brave man who thought he was doing right for his country on the grave day of 28 June, 1914 in Sarajevo.)

Hogwarts, A History says: 'The Ministry searched for the culprits.
They tried and they tried.
They interrogated more students but no avail.
The members of the Silver Ring disappeared without a trail!'

'So you say you didn't remember who it was?' asked Fudge, already losing his patience.
' I don't sir,' said quietly Susan Bones.
'You were there. You hadn't seen anything?' Fudge began to breathe heavily, as if stress was building up.
'You have also not seen anything,' piped up Susan.
Fudge rounded on her, and slammed his hand against the desk, making her jump.
'WE WERE KNOCKED OUT, YOU SILLY GIRL! DON'T ANSWER BACK! YOU WERE AWAKE! I ASK YOU AGAIN: HAVE YOU SEEN ANYTHING?' Roared Fudge at the girl.
'Minister!' Auror Kingsley held him down, from attacking the girl.
Susan began to tremble,' I-I w-was Oblivated!' She squeaked.
Fudge immediately calmed down.
'I see.' He said.
Susan shifted,' May I go now?'
Fudge looked sharply at her. Kingsley swooped in.
'Of course,' he said gently.
Susan stood up, and went to the door.
'Oh, and Miss Bones?' Kingsley called after her.
'Yes?' she asked.
'Just so you know, the next marriage is between Miss Weasley and Mr. Finningan. And Mr. Goyle and Miss Brown. Do not forget the marriage between Miss Zabini and Mr. Dean the very next day.' Said Kingsley.
Susan nodded and went out. Fudge turned angrily towards Kingsley.
'Why did you tell her?' he snapped.
'Patience, Minister Fudge,' said calmly Kingsley,' We may see that it comes to trapping the Silver Ring.'
Fudge snorted,' As if telling Miss Bones would!'
You have no idea how possible it could be, thought Kingsley, I know enough in my profession about masks over people's faces.
***********
Susan told the others about it, while Snape frowned at what Kingsley told her.
'Why would he tell you that?' asked Blaise.
'So they could trap us. The marriages may not even be that day.' Said Snape.
The others turned towards him, questioningly.
'No, we must think of something else,' he said darkly, deep in thought.
He paced around, and after a few minutes came to a full stop.
'Sibyl, do you know any hiding place?' Severus snapped his head to the thin woman standing in the shadows.
'The Shrieking Shack, only for time being.' She said mistily.
'We will have to be satisfied by it,' said Severus,' Gregory Goyle, get Draco over here. Millicent, bring Padma.'
'What are you going to do?' asked Filch, sitting down behind a desk, with Mrs. Norris on his lap, purring.
Severus narrowed his eyes,' They will have to go into hiding.'
'The Shrieking Shack?' asked Sibyl.
Snape nodded.
Draco and Padma were brought into the room.
'What is going on?' Asked Draco.
'You are going into hiding.' Said Snape,' Along with Miss Patil. You will have more company soon.'
'May I ask where?' asked Padma.
'The Shrieking Shack.'
'That's where Lupin transforms into a werewolf!' Exclaimed Draco.
'Well, it's not the full moon until two more weeks. You will be out of there until then,' Severus said annoyingly.
'I know a secret tunnel up to there,' Chipped in Ginny,' I saw it in Harry's map.'
'It's settled then,' said Severus, as if bringing to a decision,' Sibyl, take them there. You know where to go.'
She nodded, and beckoned a long, thin finger to Draco and Padma, who followed her. They left the room.
'Sir, will they find us?' asked Terry Boot.
'I don't know, Mr. Boot. That Shacklebolt is beginning to worry me. I don't like his way at all.' Said Severus, making his hand into a fist, looking at the blank wall ahead of him.
Shacklebolt was definitely planning something, and Severus didn't like it.
Author's Note: Yay, posted another chapter! The marriages only take place along students, if you want to know. Please review!
